Adelaide and Elora sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall along with
their fellow housemates. The sorting ceremony was in progress and they were
watching intently. They were all really excited to see who the new
additions to their houses were going to be.
A sleek, black haired boy was just sorted into Slytherin and was sitting down next to Draco Malfoy.
"Emmerson, William." Professor McGonagall's voice echoed throughout the Hall.
A young, blonde boy confidently made his way up to the front of the hall. He turned to the Gryffindor table and smiled hopefully.
Elora elbowed Hermione and whispered, "That's my little brother!"
After a few seconds of silence, the tattered Sorting Hat bellowed, "Gryffindor!"
"Yay Willie!" Adelaide exclaimed, standing up and applauding, as the rest of the table joined her.
As the applause subsided and William came to sit beside his older sister, Adelaide turned to her two friends.
"Next should be my baby cousin!" she whispered, grinning from ear to ear.
"Farrell, Serenity." A girl with light brown, curly hair which reached just past her shoulders, walked up to the stool.
"Hmmm, interesting." the Sorting Hat muttered, "I think.no, I'd say.Gryffindor!"
For the second time in a row, the Gryffindor table exploded into applause, and Adelaide grinned and welcomed her cousin to the table.
Serenity skipped quickly to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to William. The two first-years smiled at each other as their next classmate was called up.
"Hermione, I wish you'd -" Ron's attempt to apologize to Hermione was cut off by applause as Professor Dumbledore stood up.
"Please, Hermione, if you'd just listen -"
"Ron! You idiot, I'm not mad at you anymore!" Hermione snapped.
Ron looked slightly confused for an instant, and then grinned and sat back in his chair, satisfied.
As Dumbledore went through the usual school rules, Harry noticed that Fred and George, Ron's older twin brothers, were gaping at a woman who was sitting beside Hagrid.
Harry elbowed Ron, who was sitting beside him, "Hey, what's with your brothers?"
Ron glanced at them, chuckled softly and shrugged.
"And now I'd like to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Wanda Morgan." Professor Dumbledore motioned towards the woman that the twins had been staring at, and she stood up and smiled. She was very young, but looked very confident.
Fred and George started applauding and stood up. Everyone in the Great Hall began to applaud, but when no one else stood up, Ron pulled his brothers back down to their seats.
"Wow, she's extremely hot!" Fred gawked, still staring at her.
"I can't believe she's going to be our teacher! I can't wait until Defense Against the Dark Arts!" George added, grinning from ear to ear.
Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed, "Boys."
Just at that second, all the plates suddenly filled with bundles of food. The boys started eating immediately, gobbling down the food as if they hadn't eaten in years, while the girls talked with one another while slowly eating their dinner.
At the end of the feast, Dumbledore stood up again. "Now that we have been fed, we should all head up to the dormitories. Please follow your prefects and they will give you the password." Dumbledore sat down and the Hall filled with voices shouting the four House names.
